Knit surfaces into solids
Knit surfaces into solids
(OP)
Hi,
I imported an IGES assembly file (from SW) into UG NX2.
Due to the fact that IGES does not keep the solids, I got all solids as surfaces.
Is there a way (automatic is preferred) to knit the surfaces into solids? Is there a settings for that used during the import process?
Each part I have in the assembly contain exactly one solid.
Another question: When I import a binary parasolid file of an assembly (again, from SolidWorks), I get no hirarchy: All parts are siblings with no structure (although the original assembly has a structure).
Again, maybe a setting for importing parasolid files...
Thanks in advance,
Dan.

I know of no setting that will maintain part hiarchy with parasolids, but you will get accurate solids.

This is SolidWorks 2004 which saves parasolid version 15. An older version of SolidWorks may not have this option to not flatten the assembly heirarchy.
